Thursday April 16, 1891 Took the train for Gallatin on my way to Amity where I spent four weeks assisting Edward. Arrived at Amity on the evening passenger. Saturday May 16, 1891 Left Amity for Stanberry, going over land in Edward's buggy. Made the trip safely and found all well at home. Monday May 18, 1891 Took the morning train for Burlington Junction, where I consulted the school board concerning their school for the coming year. Went to Skidmore on the 10 A.M. freight and took dinner with my friend John W. Ware, an old school mate. Found him engaged in the hardware business, married, and settled down. Had a very pleasant time at his home. Also called on the school board. Returned to Burlington Junction on the evening passenger and had another consultation with members of the school board. Returned to Stanberry on the evening passenger. Saturday May 23, 1891 Returned to Amity as I had left with Edward's horse and buggy. On the day before, I had a disagreeable ride in search of the nag that was missing. Thursday May 28, 1891 Left Amity for Stanberry, coming home in a wagon. Albert came with me and returned the next day with the team. I commenced work in the post office on the next day. ++++++++++++
